PHJIrish

That's the problem, there were no shadows.

We could have used you to add some kilowatts to the field.☺️

I was at a very dark Cathedral at Columbus North game. At least Arlington has decent lighting.😊

First of all this was the darkest playing field I've seen in my 66 years of watching Cathedral football. It had to be tough to see on the field. It was good to see the Irish running game get in gear. The Irish ran for more than 250 yards, and Seth Mencer must've had 150 of those yards. Also sophomore Hosia Smith gave the Irish a late boost running the ball and scoring his first varsity TD. Hats off to the OL for opening those holes.

It's time to warm up the team bus and head south. I hope to see a lot of Irish fans in the stands tonight.

I thought this would be a topic sometime later, but not too surprised it was brought up at all. There's nothing wrong with the Arlington facility and if there's not enough parking, try getting there early. I've not had any problem with handicap parking the the last three years the Irish have chosen to claim it as their "home."

He's good!

Yeah, I meant at LaSalle. The Irish have played LaSalle at Broad Ripple, at LaSalle, at Nippert and at Arlington. All games have been classics.

We have a Hot Box close by on the west side of Indy. We may try one of the others if the traffic isn't too bad. Thanks for the tips!

I'd be interested to know why the Irish aren't playing St. X this season. The Irish have played St. X almost every year since the late '90's. I have attended every game of the series. The results are lopsided, somewhat, but most of the games were very competitive. I don't believe the Irish have played at LaSalle since 1999, when Otis Shannon rushed for 489 yards in a 34-24 Irish win. Looking forward to seeing that one if we can make it past the road construction on I74. We may have to hit the side roads. It's been sometime since the Irish played at Columbus North also.

Thanks for that advice. Yeah, I've been there before, albeit many years ago. Hope you're doing well!

Looking forward to the short trip south next Friday night.

Cathedral has brought it back. We have some help from alum that have a lawn business (Turf Dogs) and they have done a masterful job not only refurbishing the field but also maintaining it. A grass field has never been so good!☺️

BTW, the KofC trophy, presented to the winner of this game, has some age on it, but it's still an impressive trophy.

Thanks to those posting the freshman and jv scores. It's greatly appreciated by this old Irish fan. It's tough for me to get out on Saturday morning after climbing all those steps at Arlington.😉

Well, the Irish win another ugly one 32-29. It hasn't been much fun watching the Irish the first two games. BTW, the same punting situation just happened in the Navy/Air Force game. The punter was in the air and hit and a personal foul was correctly called. The punter, as much as the QB, should be protected.

I rest my case! Buchner is what the Irish need!

This 78 year old Irish fan watched the game from row 20 at Arlington last night. In front of me was a 92 year old Irish fan. Best of luck to the Trojans for the remainder of the season.

Bob, the extra threat of the QB run is not there. Book gave them that element last season He's a fine pocket passer, but has trouble scrambling and throwing on the run. Stats don't always tell the full story.

IMO, he's playing quite well. A side story. I was surprised that they were not accepting cash for the scrimmage at Franklin Central. While a student was trying to help me get a phone ticket the Kendalls walked up and said "we have five tickets, come on in with us." I sure was glad for their help.

This Irish alum will never sell Chatard short. It will be a typical north side battle. I hope to see a lot of Irish fans at Arlington tonight, but please don't come until I'm parked up close.😉

Not the best Irish effort but he would have probably gotten a penalty for the roughing the kicker if the official didn't know he blew that one. Momentum is everything in sports, especially in the 4th quarter of a football game.

The defense was on the field the entire fourth quarter. Mostly because the offense didn't move the ball and one of the worst the worst homer calls you'll ever see. When a punter is drilled and knocked to the ground that's a personal four and an Irish first down. It was just as bad as the pick play call a few years back.

Notre Dame wins! 41 yard field goal. 41-38 final Lots of things to work on next week.

It was a momentum changer. If it's called correctly it's Notre Dame ball! Possession means everything in the 4th quarter especially. The Irish need to look at another QB next week against Toledo. Coan just isn't very mobile.
